Hi, this is Vasipally Nagireddy. I have 17 years experience in enterprise integration architecture. Today I'm going to talk about driving digital transformation using Oracle Tech for e governance and digital inclusion in rural areas. In today's increasingly digital world, rural communities often find themselves left behind, disconnected from essential services that are residents take for granted. This digital divide not only limits access to information. But depends existing social economic in inequalities. Our research explores how Oracle's technological solutions are transforming e governance and fostering digital inclusion in underserved regions by leveraging. Powerful platforms like Oracle, so suit, apex, and E-Business suit communities are experiencing remarkable improvements in healthcare delivery, agriculture support and administrative services. The rural digital divide, understanding the challenge. 3.7 billion disconnected people globally without internet access. 65% rural gap of disconnected people living in rural areas. 40% economic impact, income disparity between connected and disconnected communities. The whole digital divide represents. One of the most persistent forms of inequality in modern society, limited connectivity infrastructure, high deployment cost under lower population density, create significant barriers to digital inclusion. This technological isolation translates directly into reduced access to education. Healthcare, financial services and government resources for rural residents, this means fewer opportunities for economic advancement and diminished participation in increasingly digital civic processes. Oracle's Egon technology stack. Oracle Cloud infrastructure, scalable foundation for all services. Oracle database and analytics, secure data management and insights. Oracle Server Suite integration framework for connecting services, Oracle, epic, and eBusiness Suite application development and business process. Comprehensive technology stack provides a robust foundation for rural e governance initiatives. Delayed architecture enables governments to build scalable, secure, and integrated digital services that function even in challenging environments with the limited connectivity. This integrated approach allows for both rapid deployment of standardized solutions and the customization to meet the specific needs of diverse rural communities, transforming rural healthcare delivery, electronic health records, Oracle Epic Applications enable secure, offline capable patient record management. Improving data accuracy by 40% and reducing record retrieval time from hours two seconds. Telemedicine integration, so would connect remote clinics with urban medical centers allowing virtual consultations and specialist referrals that could otherwise require lengthy travel. Healthcare antics. Data driven insights help identify disease patterns, optimize resource allocation, and improve to care initiatives targeted to specific community needs. Healthcare transformation represents one of the most impactful application of Oracle technologies in rural settings by digitizing health systems. Communities gain access to higher quality care despite geographic isolation and resource limitations. The ability to function in offline mode has proven particularly valuable in areas with intermittent connectivity, ensuring continuous service availability, modernizing agricultural support systems. Crop planning. Yay. Forward recommendations for optimal planting, resource management, tracking inputs and optimizing resource allocation, yield monitoring, realtime production data and forecasting thing. Market access, direct connections to buyers and price information. Agriculture remains the economic backbone of many rural communities. Oracle powered agricultural support systems help farmers make data driven decisions about crop selection, resource allocation, and market timing. These digital platforms have shown particularly strong adoption rates. When introduced alongside hands-on training programs with the participating formers, reporting hours income increases of 15 to 20% after the first time growing season, streamlining administrative services, document digitization. Converting paper records to Searchable digital archives with Oracle Content Management Process Automation, streamlining workforce through Oracle Business Process management, multi-channel access, providing service access through web, mobile, and KI Cisco interfaces. Performance monitoring racking service metrics and identifying improvement opportunities. Administrative to services like land registration, business permits and identity documents form the foundation of citizen government interaction. Our research found. 30% increasing administrative efficiency after implementing Oracle E-Business suit For this process, more importantly, citizens report significantly higher satisfaction with the government services, with the average processing times reduced from weeks to days or even hours for many common transactions. Case study, land registration transformation. A comprehensive land registration digitization in situ in one study region demonstrates transformative impact of Oracle technologies by implementing Oracle Blockchain for land records and epics for citizen facing applications. The regional government ensure dramatic improvements across all key metrics. The system now process over 50,000 transactions monthly with minimal errors compared to fewer than thousand previously sleep. The increased transparency has also significantly reduced. Corruption complaints re related to land transactions. Overcoming rural digitalization challenges, connectivity solutions, often capable applications, and ME networks. Digital literacy, community training programs and simplified interfaces, energy constraints, low power devices. And alternative energy sources, cultural adaptation, localized content, and community engagement. Implementing digital solutions in rural environments requires addressing significant infrastructure and human factors challenges. Our research identified four critical barriers. That successful programs must overcome through adaptive strategies, pilot to local conditions, communities that implemented comprehensive digital literacy programs. Alongside new technology deployments are adoption rate increases by 25% compared to technology only approaches. Highlighting the importance of human-centered implementation strategies, research methodology, and evolution. Mixer methods approach our study combined qualitative interviews with one 50 PE stakeholders across all implementation sites with quantitative performance metrics. Collected from Oracle systems providing a comprehensive view of both technological performance and human experience, longitudinal evolution. We track key indicators over a. 24 month period to assess not just initial implementation success, but sustained adoption and evolving usage patterns as communities integrated digital services into daily life compared to analysis by comparing diverse implementation approaches across. Different regional contests. We identified universal success factors as well as contest specific adoptations that enhanced effectiveness in particular settings. This rigorous evaluation methodology allowed us to move beyond and doctoral success stories to develop evidence-based recommendations for future implementations. Notably our findings challenge several common exemptions about rural technology adoption, particularly regarding the importance of often functionality for connection, speed, key findings, and impact expanded access. Over 50% of rural population experience improved access to digital services with particularly strong gains among previously marginalized groups. Service efficiency, administrative processing times decreased by an average of 65% across all measured services, with some process showing even greater improvements. Governance quality transparency ratings increased by 40% point while reported. Corruption incidents declined by over 30% in distilled service areas. Economic benefits, communities with freely implemented digital services showed average economic growth 1.2 percentage points higher than comparable non areas. The accumulated impact of Oracle powered rural digitalization extends beyond improved service delivery to fundamental transformation in governance, relationships, and economic opportunity. These changes help particular significance for historically underserved populations, including women and minority groups. Feature directions and policy recommendations. Invest in rural digital infrastructure. Government should prioritize extending high speed connectivity to rural areas through public private partnerships and innovate to large mile solutions like community networks and satellite internet. Develop integrated technology platforms. Investments in comprehensive platforms like rockets. Integrated stack delivers greater value than siloed applications, enabling cost, sector synergies and resource sharing, expand distilled data literacy programs, digital skills. Training should be integrated into formal and informal education systems with a special attention to reaching adult learners and designing culturally relevant, continue evidence-based evaluation. Ongoing research should focus on quantifying long-term social and economic impacts. To guide future investments and identify emerging best practices. The future of rural digital inclusion depends on coordinated action across policy domains and stakeholder groups. Our research suggested that technology alone cannot breach the DI digital divide. Success requires simultaneous attention to infrastructure. Skills, content and governance frameworks. With the thoughtful implementation of the recommendations Mo that transform me to potential of Oracle technologies can be fully realized creating more equitable and efficient role governance systems worldwide. I hope you all enjoy my session. Thank you.
